Writing dynamic reports

Effective reports present information, allowing readers to read at the right level of detail. Ineffective reports prevent readers from moving passed the first page. Without good structure, audience planning and professional writing, many important reports remain unread.

On this practical course, participants create writer-easy reader-friendly reports. The emphasis is on a simple process of preparation, sectioning and planting the key points strategically. Writing the full document then just becomes a matter of filling in the gaps. Doing this ensures that key messages are received and acted upon.

This course is for anyone who needs to write reports or review reports for other people.
